A year today in my new job (not so new now) and I’m glad that through lots of turmoil and heartache I was brave enough to step into something different and away from something that was no longer serving me, it has been so worth it! Who knew!

05/01/2026

As the glitter settles I am reflective on what was a really wonderful Christmas break.

Years spent between myself and my husband working in the NHS away from family and friends, missing wonderful memories. It really is true that time and presence are what’s most important. Slow chilled days, wintery walks, laughs and love. Simple all the way. What more could you want.

I don’t know what this year will bring or what next Christmas will look like and yes I feel a bit “meh” that it’s over. I also feel very lucky to have had such a lovely time to feel sad when it’s done.

If Christmas wasn’t all that I get you, I’ve been there. It’s just another day and I hope there were some perfect moments in there.

BECOMING A MUM

A magical mix of contradictions…

And it’s ok to feel it all!

When we dream of being a mum long before there’s even a pregnancy we form a picture of how that will look and feel, what we will do and how we will perform in that role!

When a baby comes along it can be a real shock to the system when the dream and the reality are not in sync!

I’m here to tell you that this is all really normal! Feeling tired, hormonal, frustrated even on occasion resentful is normal and doesn’t mean you love your baby any less. There is no doubt that in amongst all of this there is inexplicable joy and love and pride!

When we surrender to it all life will feel that bit easier. So allow it all, feel it all, take things day by day, minute by minute and give yourself huge amounts of grace!

If however you are struggling to see the joy or feel the love and your mood is persistently low then do seek support. Postnatal depression/anxiety/trauma can play a part and there is absolutely no shame in this either.

Big love to all the new mamas out there! You’re doing amazing!

WORD!

We have become a world of scrollers! Yes me included! But in reality a hit of that old like button takes two seconds but you’d be surprised at the difference it makes to a small business such as mine!

Those big accounts on here have no shortage of them so hell I know all your fingers are working! 😉 and they don’t need them as much as small creators like moi! In fact your likes…

💜Signal to the Instagram algorithm and in turn that pushes your content out.

💜Boost engagement metrics

💜 Encourages the creator

• Shows appreciation and support
• Motivates creators to post more consistently
• Help creators understand what content resonates

So in a world of scrollers let’s try to stand out and be a liker! I’m definitely going to make more of a conscious effort myself! What about you?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I gave up on resolutions many years ago! Every year will always be filled with ups and downs and all the bits in between. Always know you’re trying your best.

Here’s a few simple things you could try instead of big life changing commitments, these simple things could change your life.

I would also like to take this opportunity to say thankyou to all of you who crossed my path. The families I’ve worked with it has been my pleasure and has given me such joy!

To everyone else that has liked, shared commented and interacted with me on here it really supports my small business and it doesn’t go unnoticed!

2025 HOW IT STARTED…

The first 6 months!

Too much happened to fit in one post!

From launching my journal, to seeing snow patrol, celebrating birthdays and nights away! Walks and adventures, formals and lots of wins in my own business. Time well spent with the best of friends and my beautiful family, shows and performances from the kids that bring me so much joy!

2025 brought me a new job and with that new friends and experiences that I am so grateful for! I said goodbye to being a midwife forever and I have zero regrets! I have continued to work hard on healing from some very difficult things but this is an on-going journey! I’m grateful for the good that came my way.

Follow along for part 2!

PLAY

Play is essential for children because it’s how they learn, grow, and make sense of the world. It supports:

💜Cognitive development

💜Emotional development

💜Social development

💜Physical development

💜Independence and motivation

💜Foundations for learning

Children are ready to play from pregnancy right up through the years and most children stop playing through social and peer pressure more so than it coming to a natural end.

Play isn’t “extra” or just for fun—it’s a child’s natural and most powerful way of learning and developing. So encourage it and play with them. Play comes in many different forms so think outside the box, especially with older kids… Be inventive, play can look like so many different things.

I currently work in a play based role, I am Solihull trained and have gained loads of experience through The Baby Village so might share some helpful info and ideas with you all moving forward.

What’s your child’s favourite way to play?

From us to you… Happy Christmas!

GENTLE REMINDER…

Christmas is not a valid reason for induction. There are reasons for which you may want to consider induction but Christmas on its own is not one of them.

The Hyp Midwife

Welcome to The Hyp Midwife! I am a Hypnobirthing Practitioner with 14 years experience as a Registered Midwife. I am based in sunny Northern Ireland.

I have a passion for Maternal Choice and love to help women realise their choices when it comes to birthing their babies. I also feel passionate about maternal mental health and really believe that by helping women achieve a birth free from fear will lead to better postnatal health and bonding with their babies.

I practice the Mongan method of Hypnobirthing and the course includes five one to one 2.5 hour sessions with myself The Hyp Midwife. This takes place in the comfort of your own home and is inclusive of your birth partner. The sessions are interactive and along with teaching you all those important Hypnobirthing techniques it also teaches you all about your birthing body and baby. A combination of both of these and having someone there to guide you gives you the perfect combination to helping you achieve the birth you deserve!

All your resources are provided too including your Mongan Method Hypnobirthing book and rainbow relaxation soundtrack.
